2011 Volkswagen Touran 1.6L Diesel · VO61 AAJ

The most recent MOT on 27 August 2025 at 175,318 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria at present. The earlier failure for an ABS warning lamp on 10 August 2021 was remedied, and subsequent tests in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 have shown no recurring faults, suggesting a stable maintenance trend after that isolated issue. Across the fifteen‑year lifespan the odometer has risen from 92,761 miles in October 2014 to 175,318 miles in August 2025, an average of roughly 7,500 miles per year. The incremental mileage between each annual test – for example 163,965 miles in August 2022 and 166,892 miles in August 2023 – reflects a consistent, moderate usage pattern with no abrupt spikes or unexplained gaps. Such a steady accumulation aligns with typical wear expectations for a vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer should verify that the ABS warning lamp remains extinguished and that the braking system, including calipers and discs, shows no signs of binding or uneven wear. Inspection of the suspension should include checking bushings, coil springs and any potential corrosion around the under‑tray, especially since earlier tests noted obscured components in that area. Confirm that the windscreen washer system delivers adequate fluid, tyre tread depth is within legal limits, and that the emissions control system operates cleanly, as a 2016 test required a clean‑to‑register result. A visual examination of the engine bay after removal of the cover will ensure no hidden defects have been concealed.
